As long agoas three years il was known
to a few that Influential parties had be-
come interested in the immense coal fields
of the Rocky Forf Of the Clarke's Fork in
Gallatin county. Tocorral q large share Of
the best coal lands there and ultimately

inal object Of the Montana parties interest

Bozeman, Samuel Word of Butte, (now of
Helena and ]. B. Iubbell OF Miles City,
now Of St. Paul. were the Montana par
ties interested in the deal. A little later
they associated with them James L. Plat,
representing large railroad interests o. /
Hamilton Brown, 3 man who a1lured TO-.
tune in Iowa coal mines, and slowly the
plan Of action has been matured, through
various evolutions that it would be useless
and in some instances impossible to de-
scribe; the plan has been gradually deveI-
eped, until the result is the articles of in
corportion Of the Rocky Fork Il Cooke
City railroad. The papers We're filed about
three weeks age, but at that time, as for
nearly three years previous, public men
ton Of the fact was suppressed-the incor-
poration articles being particularly con
cealed by request, On the assumption that
some imaginary injury would be done ny
their publication. The result has been that
the story has leaked out in the east and
was in effect mentioned in the IaaeDen-
dents Washington dispatches of son days
ago. The articles of incorporation provide
that Jas. l.. Plat Hamilton Brown, J. B.
Hubbell, Walter Cooper and Samuel
Word have associated themselver as a cor
poratien under the above name with a
ital of 100000. The object of the COM
pany is to build a road as follows: "From
a point on the Northern Pacific railroad at
a point at Or near a siding on said North

Loean's Last Speech.

Gen. Logan's last speech was delivered
at a G. A. r. campfire in Youngstown,
Ohio, on Nov. 18th. He said:
I am always accused of saying things
that policy would dictate should not be
said; but l don't care so long as l am right.
| believe in pensioning every soldier now
living that wentsinto the service, either for
a long or short term, who was wounded in
the service or contracted disease, or has
since, through no fault of his own. become
disabled. l believe in pensioning every
soldier who has reached the age of sixty
two. Pass that kind of a law and justice
will be done. Some may say that is too
much. No, it is not. This country can
never pay the debt it owes the gallantm e
who went out in its defense at the time
when the very life of the nation was as
sailed.

Nevada's New Senator.

Carson, Nevada special: In Nevada the
influence of the Central Pacific has been
plainly eAerted in support Of William NJ.
| Stewart, who has received the republican
caucus nomination for senator. There was
strong opposition to Stewart, but Stephen
Gage, one of the vice presidents OF the
road. and a ~well-known wire-puller, came
up to Carson and manipulated things so
that his man was given the nomination.
which is equivalent to an election. The
opponents of Stewart urged two points
against him, one that he is practically a
nonresident of Nevada. Hei partner in
the law firm of Stewart & Herrin, of San
Francisco, and the greatest portion OF his
time is spent outside the state which he is
to represent in the senate. Just prior to
the election his friends made a great
splurge over the fact that he was fitting
up a residence and was to become an ac-
tual as well as a technical resident Of Ne
yada. The other point againt Stewart is
that he is pro-Chinese. No q denies
that he is a servant of the Central Pacific;
so with his election that monopoly secures
another good friend where most needed.
Nevada newspapers say there has been
great complaint because the leading can
didates for the senatorship met and agreed
not to spend more than $4,000 each in
the election. This has been a great dam
per upon the enthusiasm of members of
the legislature, enc Of whose principal
sources of income is derived from the
plethoric sack which has always hitherto
attended senatorial contests in the state,

The Indian Horse Thieves.

Sheriff Beck returned recently from
Helena, bringing with him "Grizzley
Bear" and "Ivory" the Piegan horse
thieves. An Argus representative called
at the jail to interview the dusky members
Of the Piegan horse association. We found
Messrs. Grizzley Bear and Ivory in, but
disinclined to talk. An Indian knows the
value of silence as we'll as he does that of
a horse or range steer. But it is said
neither of these Indians can speak English.
Both are quite young in appearance, light
of complexion and are devoid Of the promi-
nence of cheek bone SO marked in other
tribes. Grizzley Bear is the son of chief
and for this distinction wears ear rings
made out Of large bone buttons. Ivory is
just recovering from a bayonet thrust
which he received in the break for liberty
at Fort Shaw, in which three escaped.
These Indians will be held for trial at the
March term Of court.-4rgus.

Texas Famine.

The reports of famine in the drouth-
stricken districts OF Texas are heart-rend-
ing. The county judges of the region
affected recently met in convention and
declared that the total number of people
in those counties now in need of food,
clothing and fuel is placed at 10000, while
thousands more are without seed to plant

made to the state and national legislatures,
and to the country at large, to furnish at

CAIRO, HIS, Nov. 24.-The negro. Hud-
son, who was charged with setting the
LAWYER house on fire, and from which the
destructive fire on Monday occurred, was
brought to this city this morning for safe
keeping by the sheriff OF Pulaski county
Hudson made confession TO the effect
that Mrs. Lawler, the former landlord Of
the LAWYER house, had given him Sl5 to set
fire 10 the LAWYER house for the purpose OF
burning out a rival hotel next door. Mrs.
Lawler denies the statement of the negro,
and says she drove him from her house
several times and says that she had no in
surance on her property and rivalry of
hotels would not influence her to such an
action. She was taken by the sheriff to
Mound City where preliminary will be

"Incurberated" Eggs Not Wanted.

II want O dozen eggs, but | want eggs
as is eggs, and not none O. them as has bin
incuTberated.
This was the way little old woman
made her wants known in a Second ave
nue. grocery store this morning, and a re-
porter, who was by, asked her what she
meant by 'incuroerated eggs" and was
surprised at her answer.
''Well, my boy James lives mp to West
Schuyler in Herkimer county. He's got
quite a smart place up there and raises
chickens. That is he chucks q lot Of eggs
into a kind Of a box, turns on the gas,
puts a thermometer into the box long
with the eggs, and then waits for 'em to
hatch. The eggs, though, that he puts in
the box are all examined first. He buys
EN- from farmers and puts EN- in the box,
which he calls an inourberator. If, after
bein' in this incurberat0r awhile, them
eggs don't show they are fertile he takes
'em out IF the box and sends era 70 mar
ket. Now, them eggs | don't want, fer
don't believe they are good for notkin'.'
Inquiries developed the fact that the
old woman was right, and that many eggs
sent to market have been tested in incu-
hators before they are shipped and been
found lacking in fertility.-New York

crops during the year, and seem capable
OF supplying the vegetable, as vegetable,

Alameda and Los Gatos about fifty niles

Of speciality strawberries, tomatoes, as

Rearing of RiderIess Horses,

Lord George Paget, writing Of the fa-
nous charge of the Light Brigade ut Bala-
klava, says: ''One incident struck me very
forcibly about this time-tlle bearing of
rido7less horses in such circumstances, I
was of course rihng by myself and clear
of the line, and for that reason was a
marked object for the poor dumb brutes.
They consequently made dashes at me,
some advancing with, me considerable
distance; at one time as many as five on
my right and two on my left cTinging III
Oh NE, and positively squeezing me as the
round shot came bounding By them. I
remarked their eyes, betokening as keen
a sense Of the perils around them as we
human beings experienced, and that is
saying q good deal The bearing OF the
horse l was riding in contrast to these,
was remarkable. He had been struck, but
showed no signs Of fear, thus evinsing the
confidence Of dumb animals in the supe-
rior being. Tile Arsonaut.

Possibilities of Wood PUN.

A writer in a Canadian paper, speaking
Of the possibilities Of pulp as a substitute
for lumber IA the manufacture Of fUrni-
ture and other articles, now exclusively
made of wood, calls attention to the re-
sources afforded by northern Canada for
the best pulp making woods. It IS found
that in some localities the forests are now
at the best age for pulping purposes, and
capable Of yielding from forty TO 100
cords per acre, If the whole Of the timber
were utilized BY mixing the pulp with
clays, ste2lite, asbestos, plUmbaCa, mica,
etc. substances of every possible color
